    B&J or Seagrams, 4%. I can feel them after four. They are so sweet that I am guessing that you would get sick from them before you got actually drunk drunk.

    Depends on the kind, it’ll say right on the label.
    How many you can drink before it affects you is very subjective. Generally in the world of alcoholic drinks wine coolers are considered pretty light weight.

    Hope you’re 21 but I have a feeling if you’re getting excited about getting drunk off of wine coolers, you must be very young.

    I agree you must be young

    Most are close to 4%. None are 40%, which is as much alcohol as straight vodka. How many it takes to get drunk depends on you. For someone light (with little drinking experience) a four pack will do it, so be careful.

    Alcohol and mystical "%" or proof.. get you dictionary
    most wine + 12%
    mix it 50/50 less than 6% OK 4% if you add ice.
    but they taste soo goood you just might drink more.

    Wine coolers are around 4-5% alcohol; essentially the same as a beer.

    They are actually a malt beverage, as is beer. The wine and fruit flavors are added in afterwards.

    Most contain between 4 and 7% alcohol. There are a number of factors that will affect the rate of intoxication including gender, weight, mood, amount of food ingested, any medicines you may be taking, the rate at which you drink the coolers, your personal tolerance (how much do you normally drink of other products in order to get drunk) etc. Generally, the body will process one drink per hour, so drinking them at a faster rate than one per hour will produce an intoxicating effect.

    Supposedly they are equivalent to beer but I can’t even get a buzz from wine coolers but I do from beer. Wine is my beverage of choice!

    why wine cooler a rum & coke are the sh**

  • prarierosebud

    Wine coolers are a malt beverage or flavored beer. It is not wine. In fact most of them now don’t say wine cooler but flavored cooler. Most bottles read not over 3.2% alcohol by wt. Others are 3.2 %. These are for social drinking but you can get drunk off them if you overindulge although because of their sweetness, I would find it hard to drink that many.

  • rragsdaleii

    It’s on the lable but it’s almost always 4-5%

  • Doc420

  • irmita

    most have 4%. You can get drunk depending on how fast you drink it, how much food you have in your stomach and finally body volume
